Valeriano Flores-Mata was last seen in St. Paul, Alaska, on the evening of July 24, 2004. He was 32, Hispanic, 5 feet 3 inches and about 150 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a shaven head at the time, a mustache and a goatee, and a scar on his right hand. He was aboard or near the fishing vessel F/V Deep Pacific as it prepared to depart St. Paul Harbor around 9:15 p.m., wearing a black jacket, dark jeans, a dark stocking cap and tan rubber work boots and was not wearing a personal flotation device.

A few hours into the voyage the crew discovered Flores-Mata was missing. The U.S. Coast Guard and St. Paul Police searched land and sea and the Alaska State Troopers led the investigation, but no trace of him has been found and the case is classified as endangered missing. There are no definitive answers about what happened that night and no confirmed sightings afterward.

Did anyone on St. Paul Harbor or the F/V Deep Pacific that night see something that might explain how he disappeared?
